Good response. Can’t wait to see him take the field against Clemson.

I love the #JustDifferent moniker. Kiffin said it initially in his 1st presser and it rings so true to describe LSU/Louisiana.

Way better than ‘State of Football’ or ‘Path to the Boot’

I love “just different” but I also love “the state of football.” There are only 4 other states that can claim a Super Bowl winner and NCAA D1 national champion.

He aint got it.
He may have talent, but the LSU Scouts really missed big on this one.

He absolutely is. He’s gonna be one we wish we had more time to watch. I think there’s a strong chance he’s a late first round guy after the year’s finished

Well considering our top 2 were him and Sorsby, I’ll take my chances with Sam.

Big thing will be a consistent physical run game, the lack of which was one of the most disappointing parts of the Kelly era.

As in states that have had a college win a D1 football natty and a team win a Super Bowl? It’s more than that right? Louisiana, Texas, California, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Washington and Colorado off the top of my head. But your point still stands that we are one of only a select few.

Actually 9 states can make that claim:

Florida, Texas, California, Louisiana, Indiana
Illinois... Bears and U of Illinois
Pennsylvania...Steelers and Iggles and Penn State
New York... Giants and Syracuse

Please tell us more. What are you seeing that the scouts missed? I admit that I haven't seen a ton of him playing except the big run that him and Scatteboo made a few years ago. But I thought he looked great.

We know he can run and get out of trouble but I actually am hoping to see a lot of on schedule throws and good timing routes. I don't want to see somebody like a Manziel or Caleb Williams that would wait for the play to break down and then throw some off platform throw.

If you qualify it as in the last 20 years I think Louisiana may be 1 of 2 to have a Super Bowl and NC.
